Thank you for visiting my site, I am an artist living and working in South London. I draw and paint my experience of the world through a combination of observation, memory, imagination and dreams.

 

Statement and a few words about process

My practice includes drawing, painting and some hand printing. I draw frequently, particularly enjoying the process of sketching the landscape outdoors, where I take inspiration from and engage with the dynamic natural surroundings. In the studio, I transform these observational drawings, blending the memories of my experiences with imaginative elements. Recently, I find these imaginative elements are becoming a more prominent factor in my work. I am interested in liminal spaces (where edges meet) and feel drawn to the spiritual and Celtic cultures of Ireland and Cornwall.

A brief biography

I initially trained as a Graphic Designer and illustrator (BA Hons, University of West of England) and for many years juggled my art practice alongside working in publishing and raising a family. I exhibit regularly in local South London venues (see below). In 2025, I had the honour of exhibiting a drawing with the Pastel Society at London’s Mall Galleries plus my first solo show ‘A Gap in the Clouds’ at the White Box Gallery in Blackheath, London.

 

So far in 2026, I have co-curated and exhibited in “Greenwich En Plein Air" at Gallery White Box which showcased work made by the Blackheath Art Society en plein air group, a group I set up in 2023. I am delighted to report that the exhibition was a success and a repeat en plein air show at Gallery White Box is planned for early 2027. I am also a member of the Blackheath Art Society Committee.

​

When I'm not drawing or painting, I enjoy to travel and visit art museums all over the world. I am a keen yoga practitioner and like lifting weights. I am happiest by the sea.
